What happens earlier is remembered by what arose later, not experienced. It does not experience itself and it is not experienced by another.

Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

What we see and what we touch

Is stuff of dreams and mirages. If feeling is coincident with consciousness,

It follows that it is not seen thereby.

Even what you see and touch Is by its nature dreamlike or illusionlike. [99ab]

A feeling is not seen by the mind, Since it arises simultaneously with it. [99cd]

Voir et toucher ont lieu

Comme en rêve ou par magie Si bien que la conscience ne perçoit pas

La sensation qui lui est simultanée.[p.182]La Marche vers l'Éveil (2007)

Lo que vemos y lo que tocamos

son como sueños y espejismos. Si la consciencia surgiese simultáneamente

a la sensación no podría percibirla.

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

Whether seen or felt, It is due to its dream-like illusory nature

Because it is generated simultaneously with mind Feeling is not seen by it.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

From seeing up to contact, Their natures are like a dream or magical apparition.

Feeling cannot be perceived Because it is born simultaneously with the mind.

Mind will not experience feeling.
